Project Owner

In a secure database, the user who is assigned as the project owner for a particular project has full permissions within that project. This includes the “Basic permissions at project level” and the “Advanced permissions at project level” even if the user does not have those permissions for any of the security groups assigned to his/her account.

By default, the project owner will be the user who created the project, but users with the "Manage all projects" permission can change the owner at any time.

There are two ways to identify the current owner of a project:

You can use the filters in the Project Manager to sort projects based on the project owner. Each project will be displayed under the name of its corresponding owner.
If you have the "Edit project properties" or "Manage all projects" permission, you can identify the owner by selecting the project in the Project Manager and then choosing Project > Management > Edit Project Properties. This opens the Project Properties window where the name of the current owner is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

To assign a different database user to be the owner for a selected project, select the project in the Project Manager and choose Project > Security > Change Owner.

Tip: If you have the "Manage all projects" permission, you can select multiple projects and assign one database user to be the owner of those projects via the Manage Projects window.
